ST. LOUIS – Starting New Year’s Day, minimum-wage workers across Missouri will see an increase in their hourly rates.
Missouri voters approved Proposition A in the November General Election to set the stage for minimum-wage increases over the next two years.
On Jan. 1, 2025, the state’s minimum wage is set to increase to $13.75 per hour for workers of “all private and non-exempt businesses,” according to the Missouri Department of Labor.
Despite the planned increase, some workers in retail and service businesses may not directly earn $13.75 an hour.
